My hubby and I took an evening and made a trip to Pet Smart with the doggies. Gretchen, the new pup, has outgrown her collar already! She gained 6 lbs. last week....she's going to be a BIG ONE. Our 3 year old Brittany Sadie has never been in the store before so we made it a point to socialize both of them. I couldn't have done it without my hubby Tom though. Sadie was soooo excited about all the smells of other doggies, bones, food, etc. and Gretchen just was being an active puppy. Thank goodness for strong leashes!!! We are teaching the pup to sit and stay so she did quite well with those commands. Sadie settled down once she realized where she was and everything was ok and would still be there so no need to rush through the store. We had alot of people coming up a petting both of them. Some were older couples reminising about having a Brittany and how much they loved that breed. Needless to say that lack of attention wasn't an issue that night.
We decided on a purple collar for Gretchen. I'm sure she will go through about 3 more until she is full grown. We couldn't find the type of collar we wanted for Sadie though. We wanted her to have a double-sewn one but she wears a 16" and the double-sewn start at 18". We'll need to shop around for just the right one for big sister:-)
Once finished with the collar decision we moved over to the shampoo department. We picked out a puppy shampoo (of course Baby Powder scent....how funny is that?!?) and a nice oatmeal shampoo (French Vanilla scent) for Sadie. Tonight is bath night and tomorrow morning is Gretchen's first vet visit. I'm sure there will some funny bath pics to post shortly!
Well off to some chores and hopefully some Etsy shop listings later today.
She seems to like these little snacks ALOT!
